Car accident near work today

Postby Sammy Boy » Tue Jan 19, 2010 12:49 am

Today, during work about noon, my boss and colleague suddenly looked out the window. It turns out that in a nearby office building, a car had crashed through a wall.

Thankfully, the woman in the car was only slightly injured and the firefighters got her out okay.

Here is a picture I took with my mobile phone camera.

Um, how did that happen? Was there inside parking or something?

That car looks to be in pretty good shape considering it just busted through a brick wall...glad the driver was okay but I can't help being sort of amused by the picture.

That's incredible. Was it some kind of parking garage?

I'm glad the woman was okay. That being the case, I feel as though it is appropriate to say that I feel like that car is saying "O HAY GAIZ WAT IS GOIN ON OUT HERE?"

Yeah, there is an indoor parking area in that building (a lot of office buildings in this area are like that, some are underground though).

The wall was a non-weight bearing wall, so it didn't affect the building. Hence most likely why it was single brick in thickness and more easily broken through.

I heard that the firefighters cut through the boot of the car and the backseat to get the woman out, and then pulled the car back inside (since pushing it out would have made the car land on the roof of the nearby school's outdoor classroom - probably not a wise thing to do).

That is sad for the woman, but still kinda awesome! It looks like the building is sticking out it's tongue at you.

I think the woman needs some driving lessons. Glad she is alright, but she needs to be careful.

This looks like a case, where she didn't put the parking brake on and it started to roll after she took her foot off the brake or was trying to pull out of parking space and put in forward and not putting it in reverse.


But really, that is now the worst whe the heck kind of crash moment.

This happen in Japan in Dec.

Wow, I didn't know you could pop a wheelie with a semi. Impressive.

O.O Seriously. That has got to be one of the craziest semi crashes, or whatever you want to call it, I've ever seen.
